'Aged Aussies' Dinner (Joseph's Place, Wong Chung Hang, Hong Kong): Served blind. Advanced deep gold. Caramel notes and toffee. Palate is similar... ripe melon with toffee poured over it and some marshmallows. Nicely buzzy on the finish. Interesting progression from when I last drank it 11 years ago but it is now over-mature. The best was probably somewhere in between.

Group de Degustation Diner, Octobre 2010 (Chez Patrick, 26 Peel Street, Central, Hong Kong): Served blind with no indication of age or country of origin. Semi-golden colour. Nose is older Chardonnay which improved as it approached cool room temperature. Palate is a nice acidic backbone with some fresh lemon skins. I had this as a Louis Jadot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru 2004, by which I didn't mean to heap it wth praise but had it as "over-priced, mid-range white Burgundy". Surprised when this was revealed as an Australian as I had detected no New World notes but amazed that this is a US$90 bottle of wine when the 2007 standard Petaluma Chardonnay was way superior (at US$30).
